The surname Ladd is of Irish origin, although its precise etymology is uncertain. It is believed to derive from the Gaelic surname Ó Laidhigh, which translates to "descendant of Laidheach." The original meaning of Laidheach is not entirely clear, but it may have referred to a strong or mighty individual.
The Ladd family is said to have originated in County Galway, Ireland, where they were prominent landowners and held positions of influence within the local community. Over time, branches of the family spread to different parts of Ireland, including County Mayo and County Roscommon.
During the period of Irish immigration to the United States in the 19th century, many Ladds, along with numerous other Irish families, made the journey in search of new opportunities and a better life. They settled in various parts of the country, including New England, particularly Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where the surname Ladd is still relatively common today.
The Ladd family has played a role in American history, with notable individuals bearing the name serving in various fields. One prominent figure is Major General Charles L. Ladd, who fought in the American Civil War and later became a successful businessman.
Today, the surname Ladd continues to be passed down through generations, representing the proud Irish heritage of those who bear it.
